301

The cabin of Earl Edward.

Here is even more graceful and luxurious. But Earl Edward's face lowered the temperature of the air by two degrees.

He had already received the news that the assassination failed, and even the Falcon was dead.

It was originally intended to kill him directly and directly solve the threat to him. But obviously underestimated the opponent's strength.

Sure enough, it is not so simple for people who can make a huge contribution in the process of eliminating counter-will. What made him most unexpected was how he killed an outstanding hunter in the bath? ? ?

It's incredible.

This caused him to lose a bodyguard and also reduced his attack methods by more than half. The remaining knight bodyguard can only protect his own safety. And the priest of life can only heal.

Now that he is in a passive state, he definitely can't stand up against him. Just protect yourself and reach Delta. Plan again at that time.

He was frightened to tell the truth in his heart, for fear that Elok would kill himself desperately. Otherwise, he wouldn't let Falcon go to assassinate him.

In the education I have received, the interests of the family have always been higher than their own interests. If he died by now, I'm afraid the whole family will be destroyed with it. Now is the time for the survival of the family.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl. He won't do anything in the boat." The knight behind him comforted.

"Not necessarily, Sergey. It's just that Peel won't let him do it on the boat." Earl Edward replied with a sigh.

"That sergeant, Florian will not. So we are safe." Sergey continued to comfort.

"Sheriff?" Earl Edward sneered. "That's all. Peel can't trust him either. He is from Drol. Only himself can be trusted."

Bang~bang~bang~

The knock on the door suddenly remembered. Earl Edward and Sergey looked at each other, and both saw incomprehension and surprise in each other's eyes.

Who will come this time?

Earl Edward motioned Sergey to open the door with his eyes.

The door opened, and a waiter bowed respectfully first, and then whispered:

"I'm sorry to disturb the Lord Earl's rest. But due to an emergency on the ship. So Captain Peel summoned all the passengers on the third floor to the conference room at the back of the third floor. In order to explain the incident, and to let everyone sleep peacefully."

Sergey looked back at Earl Edward, and after he nodded in agreement, he politely replied:

"Master Earl will go later."

······

The meeting room in the middle of the third floor.

It was late in the night, and although the noble lords looked very tired, it was clear that they still followed the ancient etiquette, each sitting neatly on the seats in the conference room.

Captain Peel sits at the top of the long conference table as the host of the meeting. As the victim of this incident, Elok sits in the lower left position. Opposite is the seat reserved for Earl Edward, but he has not come yet.

Although the people present were a bit drowsy, they knew that something serious had happened, so they forced their spirits up to have an exchange meeting with people they knew nearby, and waited for the arrival of Earl Edward by the way.

Sure enough, the bigger the official, the bigger the frame. It was ten minutes before Earl Edward arrived late. He naturally sat on Peel's right and lower head position, and glanced at Elok on the opposite side without a wave of waves in his eyes. Give a gesture to Peel.

Upon seeing this, Peel coughed, and then bluntly said after attracting everyone's attention:

"I called everyone here today because something unpleasant happened tonight."

"Lord Fasma was assassinated, but it seems that the assassin's level is not enough, and he was easily avoided by Lord Fasma. During the subsequent inspection, the assassin was shot dead on the spot."

There was an uproar at the meeting, and only a few people who knew the truth of some things were not so shocked.

He glanced at more than a dozen nobles on the conference table and continued:

"However, it is not yet certain whether the assassin has any accomplices. Therefore, for your own safety, try not to stay alone, and at least one **** must be around you."

Hearing this, everyone present became even more noisy, one after another began to accuse Peel of work mistakes, and began to make noise about their own safety issues.

Finally, when the voice became slightly lower, Captain Peel said loudly:

"Please trust my ability. In the ten years since I became the captain of the Droll, there has never been an abnormal death of a passenger. I am the righteous Peel."

This sentence obviously shocked everyone at the scene, and the noise stopped. Afterwards, Peel continued:

"However, for the sake of everyone's safety, I hope everyone can follow our arrangements in terms of safety protection. This is for everyone's safety considerations."

"No, we want to be free."

Peel glanced at the vocal young man, the second son of Earl Edward. Although there is no title, but because of his father's relationship with a first-class ticket, he can sit here. Not mature enough, just adult.

He glanced at Earl Edward again, not going to care about this immature suggestion.

Sure enough, Earl Edward at the top on the right snorted coldly, and said, "Shut up. This is the Hutt Empire, not the Free Will Federation. Freedom here means having rules and observing order."

Then, Earl Edward looked at Captain Peel again, and said apologetically:

"Sorry for not taking care of my son, I think he will abide by the management."

After a pause, he spoke again:

"I have a suggestion here."

He coughed and continued: "Since we had such an accident on the first day, and we are not sure if there are other assassins on the ship. Why don't we return? Check the passengers?"

"No." Captain Peel directly denied this suggestion, and then said:

"The investigation will definitely be carried out, but it will not be able to return to the voyage. That will lose the face of the Grand Duke, and it will also cost the other passengers on the ship more time."

Earl Edward himself didn't intend this suggestion to work, he just wanted to elicit the following words. He gave a slight and said:

"I was abrupt. Such a proposal is indeed not comprehensive enough."

"But we also need corresponding protection. No one knows what will happen to the assassin." He said again.

"Of course, the guards will protect everyone from harm. Please rest assured, the earl." Peel said firmly.

Hearing this, Earl Edward seemed to heaved a sigh of relief and continued:

"That's good. I am mainly worried about the safety of Lord Fasma. After all, the main target of the assassin is Lord Fasma. So I think we need more protection than us."

Hearing Earl Edward's words, Elok's brow twitched slightly, failing to understand Earl Edward's thoughts.

Earl Edward himself certainly knew that the assassin was nothing but a fiction, and he also knew that the real danger was himself. Not some Fasma.

But in order to clarify the relationship, and to achieve the goal, simply reverse thinking.

He knew that Elok would not do anything in the public, and he would not dare to directly kill him by sending a watcher himself.

In this way, ~lightnovelpub.net~ protects itself from another aspect.

Afterwards, he smiled and said:

"I have a personal doctor, and I am willing to use her as one of the powers to protect Lord Fasma. This is also the last effort I can make."

After thinking for a moment, Elok smiled evilly:

"Thanks to the earl for your kindness, but I think Captain Peel can protect me. Moreover, the assassin is dead now, even if there are accomplices threatening it is not as good as before. If you try again, he will definitely die."

He directly rejected the offer. And pulled on Captain Peel to guarantee it.

On the one hand, I told Edward Peel that I was also with me. On the other hand, he was also scaring Earl Edward.

Although the first step has gone wrong, it is basically completed. At least it frightened Earl Edward, and unexpectedly hit the opponent's strength.

The next step should be to stay calm and wait for a while.

Wait until he disembarks.

The doctor he was talking about is also the pastor of life.

A pastor, as far as I know, there is no offensive means. In such a tense situation on board, surely he would not use poisoning or other means to assassinate.

The hunter can separate the relationship, but the priest can't. After all, he was talking about his doctor himself.

In itself, Peel and Florian were catching his little tail, and Earl Edward would not let them catch it like this.

Then his family would be completely ruined.

Taking his family-oriented thinking into consideration, he will inevitably not make more radical moves.
